Although you got some nice detail there, your missing the sweeping arms. The ED80 is perhaps too small an apature for this..

Very cool Martin. Awesome work and with an ED80 to boot.

Thanks Fred, are you looking at NGC4027 or NGC4038?
The Antenae galaxy has the arms visible

Thank you David

Lucky that most toys are not THAT expensive

I wouldn't have many toys by now
